Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Durango, CO covered by Cigna

Everyone has a life story and every story is important. Are you feeling unsure, stuck, or lost in your life story? You don’t have to go through it alone. We can co-create achievable actions and goals leading to your happiness, hope, and healing. With over 20 years’ experience and training in multiple therapeutic approaches; progress can be rapid and lasting. Working with adults navigating disruptive thought patterns, confusing life circumstances, and past traumas.

I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for a change but aren’t sure where to begin. I have a particular interest in supporting people navigating trauma, substance use, anxiety, ADHD, and depression. Whether you’re working through a difficult experience, struggling to manage your emotions, or looking for support with your mental health, I provide a compassionate space to feel heard and understood.

I believe healing happens in the context of safety and connection. Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and hard on themselves — often holding everything together on the outside while struggling internally. If that resonates, I want you to know that I see the strength it took to survive the way you did.

My work is grounded in the belief that you don’t need to be “fixed.” You may have learned to cope by staying busy, staying strong, or staying small — but those patterns made sense at one point. Together, we gently explore where they came from and whether they still serve you.

I also deeply respect the non-linear nature of healing. There is no deadline for becoming “better.” Growth unfolds differently for everyone, and part of our work is cultivating self-compassion along the way.

My name is Celeste and I'm an LPC in CO. I have always wanted to be a person that could have a positive impact on someone’s life. A person they could talk to with no judgment but instead empathize with them in a safe environment. Sometimes all that is needed is someone to actually hear what they are saying. I enjoy working with people to help them learn how to understand feelings and where they come from. To help them to communicate effectively, express themselves fully, and achieve their individual goals.

Life isn't always about getting through a crisis. Sometimes it's realizing you've been carrying stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion for so long that it feels normal. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I can help you to develop a warm, loving relationship with the parts of yourself that may get in the way of the healing and recovery you are interested in. With attention to how pain, loss, and suffering can be held in the body and through cultivating compassion and attention, together we can work to move these experiences through to completion and create space for something new.

Hi, my name is Austin and welcome to my private practice. As a man who has been deeply affected and healed by counseling, I get the need and role of counseling firsthand. This is why I love counseling: I believe humans were created to share their stories and to work through difficulties together. Counseling is my life’s passion. I am truly honored and delighted to now walk alongside others in dark places toward durable hope and lasting change.

I am personally acquainted with the pain of grief. After the loss of my mother to suicide, I began a counseling journey that revealed many unexplored areas in my life that needed compassion and care. These experiences have brought me face to face with life’s difficulties.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO) in Foreign Area Studies (Russia and Eastern Europe). After graduation, I worked as a military aviator and US Air Force Officer in domestic and international locations. I returned to graduate school to pursue a Master’s of Arts in Counseling and a Master’s of Divinity at Covenant Theological Seminary. Over the years, as a counselor, I have worked in a community-based counseling center, as a staff counselor for a church counseling center, and I am now in independent practice, working with men, veterans, couples, and families navigating trauma and PTSD, and the many ups and downs of life.

I have traveled throughout the world during my Air Force career. Seeing the many ways humans experience the world, in all its pain and joy, has only increased my passion to care for others. From working with teenagers and their struggles to individuals seeking hope to the married couple with decades of experience to everyone in between. I love working with people who are struggling and want change.
